Clare McWilliams Poems
Drinking And Writing Date Written 03/02/2008
Why do i drink, because I'm a writer?
Because I need a good haze in which to find
The fuzzy ponderings of my scattered mind.
Why do I write, because I'm a drinker?
Because I need a fuzzy mind to dull the insanity
Of alliteration overload in my frontal lobe.
Which came first, the drinking or the writing?
As a child I was drunk on the experience of all
Life had to offer, not yet sullied by adult perspective.
I wrote then, small and true, and my words disturbed
The tall god-like beings of my tiny world.
So i sobered up, got with the ...
Brain Brioche
After the bar I can't go home
Cos tonight I don't want be alone.
Want stimulation of mind,
So company I find.
I should go home and go to bed,
But I galavant through the night instead.
Chitting and chatting until I pass out,
Meeting like minds and the odd lout.
